The Integrated Project Akogrimo - Access to Knowledge Through the Grid in a Mobile World (Contract No. 004293), part of the EU 6th Framework Programme under the Information Society Technology (IST) priority 2 (Strategic Objective 2.3.1.18), requires the participation of one or more project partners to carry out tasks related to validation through testbeds.
The Akogrimo Integrated Project is aiming at the integration of possibilities of modern mobile networks with advanced properties of so called ‘Business Grids’. It is funded under the IST Strategic Objective “Grid for Complex Problem Solving” and is one of the major contributors to the definition of Next Generation Grids. The Akogrimo project will extend and adapt capabilities of beyond 3G networks for complex distributed applications based on Grid middleware and in the same way will extend existing Grid architectures solutions beyond current reference models such as the Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA).
This call concerns workpackages in the field of testbed definition, realisation, validation and also contribution to exploitation activities of the Akogrimo Integrated Project. The role of the existing two testbeds in the eHealth and eLearning domain is to drive through their requirements several activities within the project including business modelling and architecture definition. The realised testbeds will be a key element for the validation of the architecture and the developed middleware components. As the validation scenarios are expected to be one of the exploitable elements of the overall projects they will also contribute to the exploitation activities.
Estimated available funding from the European Commission for this part of the work is € 250.000.
